& WARNING
• The rear seat area is too small to safely transport passengers
taller than 4'11" (1.5 m).
- Persons taller than 4'11" (1.5 m) as well as children in
booster seats who are too close to the rear window and roof can
suffer severe head and neck injuries when the rear lid is closed
or in a crash.
- The minimum clearance between the passengers' heads and
the rear window must never - under any circumstances - be less
than 1 inch (2.5 cm) when the passengers sit fully upright.
- Always make sure that rear seat passengers cannot be struck
when the rear lid is closed.
• After closing the rear lid, always pull up on it to make sure that
it is properly closed. Otherwise it could open suddenly when the
vehicle is moving.
• To help prevent poisonous exhaust gas
from being drawn into
the vehicle, always keep the rear lid closed while driving. Never
transport objects larger than those which fit completely into the
luggage area, because then the rear lid cannot be fully closed.
• Never leave your vehicle unattended especially with the rear lid
left open. A child could crawl into the car through the luggage
compartment and pull the lid shut, becoming trapped and unable
to get out. To reduce the risk of personal injury, never let children
play in or around your vehicle. Always keep the rear lid as well as
the vehicle doors closed when not in use.
